On July 19, 1989, United Flight 232 crashed-landed in Sioux City after a catastrophic engine failure. Of the 285 passengers and 11 crew members on board, 111 passengers and one flight attendant lost their lives in the crash.

A man few Siouxlanders knew left a giant mark on hundreds, perhaps thousands, of children on Monday as the bulk of his estate, valued at more than $2.1 million, was divided and awarded to 29 charitable organizations that work with children, 26 of them local entities.
